A friend of mine shared the article linked below on FB. It's a great article to remember and share with others. Whether a friend is childless by choice or by "force" they don't need to be questioned, reassured, or bullied about it. Although most people have good intentions, questions aren't always taken that way by those of us on the receiving end. Thanks for the article, Anna Banana Bread. I know you're always checking up on us here and cheering us along the way! :)
